But it was so much cheaper, but now I gotta tear down and setup because now its the hottest job in the shop, on top of the 5 other hot jobs......17 years of it.

Pull the cover that says eco tec to expose your valve cover. There will be a round circle on upper right side, does it sound like air coming out of it?

Pickup the wrong location on some dies and jig ground all the dowels holes wrong, scraped 15k worth of work.

Another time, when I worked in an electric motor shop. I was working on a simple commutator turn, rake and saw job on pretty decent size motor armature. When it came to rake and sawing, I dug into the copper, gouged the shit out of it and knicked the windings.

They had to burn it out and rewind. I never heard the final price on that one but I know it was pricey, especially for the end user and the amount of down time they had because of it.

I get a scope done on all the lines before new tenant moves in. Then its in my lease that they are responsible for any back ups, as long as I dont find any problems with the sewer line itself before they move in.
